Going to California

Leaving tomorrow on that big jet plane.  Escaping to the desert.  The wide open spaces.  The mountains.  That big canyon.  Stars and Joshua Trees.  Then the Pacific.  Getty Villa.  Malibu beaches.  Ameoba Records.  Letting it all roll over me.

In random music notes...

Bill Murray singing and smoking his way through "Shelter From the Storm" is charming:

I got a Johnny Rivers record yesterday at the Wheaton Friends of the Library..  and Roy Orbison (his cover of "What'd I Say" is worth the $1 alone).

And a going-west playlist is forming here.
